WRTV-6 caught video of the incident, in which Crean appears to shout "You know what you did; you helped wreck our program" towards Meyer. Current Indiana assistant Tim Buckley then pulls Crean away.

The reason for the bad blood wasn't immediately clear. Asked about it after the game, Crean said, "It's a heated game, it's a heated game. Ask him."

On the Big Ten weekly teleconference Monday morning, Crean called the on-court confrontation a "professional misunderstanding" and said he wishes he had handled the situation differently.

Crean said he called Meyer before he left Michigan.

"On the way to the plane, I talked to him on the telephone," Crean said. "We talked about some things, and I apologized. In retrospect, I wish I would have never addressed anything in the heat of the battle.''

Meyer declined comment Monday to USA TODAY Sports. Meyer, a former Indiana assistant under Kelvin Sampson, was not made available to the media following the game.

"I have from day one acknowledged the mistakes I made, and I've taken personal responsibility for the wrongdoing," Meyer said. "I apologized to Indiana University for my involvement in the matter, however limited."

Meyer was cleared by the NCAA of involvement in the school's "major" recruiting violations. His violations were deemed "secondary" and he was not punished.
